What Is Kaposi Sarcoma? Endemic (African) Kaposi sarcoma. Endemic KS occurs in people living in Equatorial Africa and is sometimes called African KS. KSHV (Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus) infection is much more common in Africa than in other parts of the world, so the risk of KS is higher. Other factors in Africa that weaken the immune system (such as malaria, other chronic infections, and malnutrition) also probably contribute to the development of KS, since the disease affects a broader group of people that includes children and women.
